Hi Frank – I saw the link to the new page passed around today as a retweet. (Or was it some other 3rd party version? so many companies are trying to monetize now.. lol) When I went to the one from the retweet, I had no desire in that moment to just read tweets from just any executives – most are just blabbering anyhow.

What I did though was look to see if there were execs who I already consider interesting people (like @zappos) or from big companies that I might find useful to start following.

My reasoning has to do with why I myself am no tweeting. As an SEO and web marketing guy looking to stay relevant so that I can discuss the ways Twitter might be a good fit in my clients overall social media marketing strategy, I want to really listen to all the different people out there that are also using twitter themselves now for that reason.

And too, in just the few days I’ve been tweeting, there have been a couple gems of opportunity for me to actually be of service to some business owners – and by tweeting a 140 character tip or solution, its a great brand awareness building tool for me. Or if I can refer them to another tweeter who has expertise that I don’t that’s just as good. So if by some miracle some big honcho that’s listed finds me or gets value at of what I offer, then it was worth it to find them and follow.

Anyhow that’s just my take given my unique situation. Your actual mileage may vary.
